It actually looks a lot like the C7, but the ZR1 in particular. The front bumpers are so similar and the overall design of the tail lights are very close, especially when they light up. The quarter panel and rear hatch all have similar shapes and lines.

Both car looks great but the ZR1 looks more aggressive in my opinion due to the color, big wing, hood vents and aero. The C8 looks really good too but the wheels still doesn't look right at all matched up to a mid engine sports car. They look way too generic.

Resale value aside, I'd rather be driving that C8 then a C7 ZR1.

Aftermarket, here I come! Who need a set of stock silver wheels for snow or track tires?

I have heard this lame argument since the C2 came out (63) and replaced the C1. I had a C1 (59). Relic? There are no relic's
when it comes to Corvettes. All Corvettes are todays news.

No one ever walks behind these cars with their camera or phone?

Nope sorry, the youth of today disagrees. FE Vettes are dinosaurs now, even though I still like older Corvettes. Just the facts.

I’m seeing a $60K car and a $130K car. I can’t comfortably afford the $130K car, so I’ll take the $60K car.
